“ness: of. almost any garden jobs -

are necessary for the greatest suc-

_cess, pruning is perhaps one op-

cration where’ it is easy: to. over-
emphasize the thoroughness part.

‘Evidence is accumulating to show

that ‘it is. a- good ‘idea: to allow
some. lateral. growth’ to: develop. -
This will result in ‘a. somewhat
less tidy appearance but will give
the- plant more leaf surface and
since leaves manufacture food for

‘assimilation’ by the. plant, make |

for greater ‘yields. Furthermore,
the inrolling of the margins of the
lower leaves typical of plants
which have been severely pruned
will be less pronounced. Stop the
growth of the laterals before blos-
som clusters are formed. This
means that .in most cases ‘two
extra leaves can be allowed to
grow out from the axil of each
leaf on the main stem.

SAANICH PENINSULA AND GULF ISLANDS REVIEW

Fewer Eligible
Bachelors In U.S.
Since World War

NEW YORK — The war got so
many Americans: married that the

‘United: States. marriage rate now

is rapidly declining for lack of

‘unmarried: people. ©

This is explained in a statistical
bulletin of. the Metropolitan Life
In the- big
1946, nearly’ 2,300,000 Am-
married. - This year

year,

ani this is a 12 per cent decline
from last year.

The reason is not that folks are
no longer eager to marry. .The
men are trying just as hard as in
the big postwar year. The rate at
which the still eligible men are
marrying this year is about the
same as in 1946. But there are a
lot less eligible men now, becuuse
so many were married during the
war period.

Women Eager Too

The women, as far as statistics
show, are not less eager to marry.
But the eligible women are un-
able to. make as good a showing
because there are nearly 2,000,000
more of them than men.

What the United States seems
to need is more ‘men, or at least
men who take better care of their
health:. More boys than ‘girls dre
born in the United States every
year. They outnumber the girls:

‘until the early 20s.

Then, because more girls live,
the women catch up... By middle
life there are more women than
men in the United States, and so
it remains in the end.

The statistical studies add a
special’ bouquet to marriage.
People who have been divorced
remarry at a-higher rate than
those who haven’t had any mar-
riage experience. The divorced
“remarry at a higher rate than
widows: but that may_be. because

there’ aren’t enough men, to. go .

round.
